Clutch Pushrod Ball Bearing

What is the size of the " commonly available ball bearing" used between the pushrod and the needle bearing pusher in a KZ1000 MKll.? I assume it's metric but is there is a standard size available that will work?

After owning Z's since 1974 you'd think I would know this one, and even Jeff at ZI didn't know off hand...

Kawasaki.com parts list shows 3/8' -- whatever that means -- but also shows a long list of models using the same ball bearing part number 600A1200. As some very recent models are included in the list, I would imagine it being readily available through a Kawasaki dealership.

Good Luck!
